Security Program in Somalia Is Not Working
The Elephant posted on 24 January 2019 a commentary titled "Rebranding Al Shabaab: Geopolitics, Greed, Ineptitude and the Losing Battle against Terror" by Abukar Arman.
Somalia has outsourced to foreign actors almost every aspect of its security and none of them is accountable to the Somali government. The author argues that sustainable security will not exist so long as the international community continues its AMISOM-focused initiative at the expense of rebuilding robust Somali military and security forces that are capable of dealing with extremists and securing Somalia's borders.

An Analysis of Protests in Sudan
The London-based Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) published on 24 January 2019 an analysis titled "Sudan's Protests: Something New?" by Michael Jones, research analyst at RUSI.
The author concluded that whether the uprising in Sudan will achieve critical mass or President Omar al-Bashir can cling to power is still in the balance. But unless Bashir can restore order, mollify demonstrators, and satisfy his security forces, it may be a race to see which finds him disposable first.

Will Sudan's Protest Movement Bring Down the Government?
The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) posted on 21 January 2019 a commentary titled "Will Sudan's Latest Protests Bring Down Bashir?" by Andrews Atta-Asamoah, ISS Addis Ababa.
The author concluded that if the loyalty of the army, the National Intelligence and Security Service, and other security apparatus starts changing, President Omar al-Bashir's days will be numbered. But until that happens, he will remain defiant and could survive this round of protests.

The Nature and Drivers of Insecurity in Kenya
The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) published in April 2015 a report titled "The Nature and Drivers of Insecurity in Kenya" by Andrews Atta-Asamoah, ISS in Pretoria.
The author suggests that the activities of internal radical and armed groups and the nature of Kenyan politics may pose a greater threat to stability and security than does Somalia-based al-Shabaab.
